Kanamemo

I must admit, I enjoyed Kanamemo much more than the first episode led me to believe I would. It seems like a rather hacked-together, over-the-top set-up, but after the initial suspension of disbelief for a middle school girl to be out on her own, you get into a darling story about finding one's place in the world.

Kanamemo will live on to me as one of the most memorable anime I've watched, despite its few lack-luster points.

Slice-of-life animes come in different flavors, and this one is yuri/loli with a touch of insanity. Kana had already been orphaned once and was living with her grandmother, but her grandmother's death saw her orphaned a second time. Her search for a way to support herself eventually landed her in the job of delivering newspapers, living with other girls doing the same. Watching Kanamemo is rather like eavesdropping on a conversation--you learn certain specific things about characters and situations, but never enough to actually know much of anything (however much you might intuit). I almost dropped the series with the first episode because of all the touching and suggested nudity. But if you're willing to look beyond those things, the story's progression is fun and the characters--although obvious stereotypes--demonstrate a certain admirable strength and compassion as they support themselves and each other.

"Kanamemo" is a very interesting anime about a girl who doesnt have parents that lives with her grandmother. When her grandmother dies, she doesnt know where to go. She ends up running into clumsy girls that take her in. She then has a new family. This anime is great because it is humorous and it never gets boring. Watch this anime if you like funny, kind of girly yet a little ecchi animes. Its very good! Hope this helps (;

Ok so this show is just wonderful and I really enjoyed watching it. It's a wonderful story about Kana-Chan and her journey from being an orphan to figuratively adopted by the Fuushin Gazette; the place where she runs away to work at.

Storyline: The story was very good and had alot of episodes that were deep and episodes that just made me burst out laughing. It is a carefully thought out plot and I just loved it.

Music: THE MUSIC IS JUST WONDERFUL. It's cheerful, upbeat and just a pleasure to listen to. The Opening is creative and I just can't stop watching it! T-T

Characters: This is where it's all at.
-Kana Chan is the main character and she is different from other clutzy girls in animes out there. She's naive, innocent and most of all a mature girl when the situation calls for her to change. She is extremely clumsy, has a wild imagination and is annoying at times. But she's human and I think this show just enforces us to accept people as they are because there's a reason why they are that way.

-Saki Chan is the "Chief" of the Fuushin Gazette. She has the mind of maybe a 30 year old woman trapped inside the body of a 7 year old?
But anyways, she has an interesting personality. She's bossy, sometimes violent and just a *****. But you see her real side, and she's a
sweet young girl who just has alot of responsibility on her hands. Being a loli, she's cute of course and I just loved her character.

-Haruka San is the probably the eldes of the girls working at the Fuushin Gazette. Being a lesbian/pedophile she preys on the Chief and
Kana ALOT. She's always fantasizing about the two in bathing suits and such and such. Besides being a alcoholic and molester, she's a
cool character. When she's not molesting the younger girls, she resides as a role model and a kind of 'mother' to the girls.

-Yume Chan is one of the cutest girls in any anime I've seen. She's just adorable and has the cutest hairstyle until she comes out
of the Gazette workplace and makes out with Yuuki...ANYWAYS she is an energetic young girl who attends a Cooking Academy so she's always baking goodies or adding too much sugar to things. She's the ideal girl a guy would want to go out with. Incredibly loyal to her loved ones and a hilarious personality.

-Yuuki San is probably the second oldest in the Gazette to Haruka. She is Yume's lover and is incredible jealous when she talks or touches someone else but respects Yume's freedom and just sulks in a corner (haha). Yuuki was the character the audience least gets to know about. She seldom speaks, but when she does she is a caring woman and cares for everyone.

-Hinata Chan is my favorite character in this anime. She seems to be the only 'sane' person in the Gazette workplace besides the Chief and is reallly cute. Hinata is a gambler/lottery addicted person and it's a realistic thing for people to try to test their luck. She acts as a barrier between Haruka and Kana which is funny. She acts pretty guyish and wears tomboyish looking clothes most of the time but she's a great character. She's nice and acts as a mother to the group as well.

-Mika Chan is the character in most animes depicted as the "rich" and "snobby" character. And she suits it perfectly. I liked her character alot too because she was indeed a girl from a richer society but she was a good girl on the inside and befriended Kana and held an excellent relationship with her until she developed a crush on her!? But other than that she's a cute loli who fits this anime perfectly.

Animation is very good in my opinion. I'm not a picky person and any animation that has a modern look and isn't too sloppy is just fine for me. Some scenes in this anime are just AMAZING.

Overall. I loved this anime ALOT. It's kinda comparable to animes such as Clannad or Toradora! It's mainly a Slice of Life genre, with a pinch of comedy and yuri in it. About the Yuri, I like Yuri not cause it's hot and such. But Because I find it very emotional and touching. Yume and Yuuki had a really emotional relationship in this anime and I loved the way the producers presented it because at some points I wondered to myself. "Wow, this should be an entirely different anime with just these two characters."
Enough of my ranting. Anyone who loves Slice of Life and Comedy Genre's MUST try watching this. If your a yuri chaser, go ahead too.
I promise you won't be dissapointed.

This follows a girl and where by due to circumstances ,she ends up working for a the fushinin gazette !, the cheif being the main character at he paper making the staff work, and organizing the others to do theirs jobs, it works out with fun,enjoyabe episodes with the characters working well with and agaisnt each other.

My only down side for this

kanamemo is a brillant anime one of the best iv seen from the first to last episode you love its griping its got evry day encounters so i gave it a five for storyline the music i only gave a three mainly because i carnt under stand the words but because it allways fitted the mood i gave it three and a half also i gave the characters a five mainly because it gave of the classic dont judge a book by its cover and it has a good mix of characters an alcholic,pedo,lesbiens it makes it sound bad but the way it plays out is good so overall four and a half stars. its brillant i totealy recamend it but it needs a follow up i feel it some how didnt finish
